Children, an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, were reportedly evacuating with their parents for safety when the floodwaters flooded their home, according to the media.
The youngsters were carried away by the swift water flow as they attempted to cross to a safer location after the rain forced the nearby bridge to overflow and flood the area, according to the news website.

Several areas of Ghana’s capital, Accra, are now under water as a result of the country’s severe rains, which also caused gridlock and annoyance for drivers.
Although the Greater Accra Area was in chaos due to the torrential rain, several troops invaded Ashaiman, went on the rampage, and attacked locals in order to get revenge for the death of one of their comrades.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced that unidentified intruders had murdered a uniformed soldier in Ashaiman.
The military was occasionally seen beating up citizens in social media footage that went viral. The streets of Ashaiman were deserted in another video, and several residents could be seen hiding in their apartments out of terror for the approaching army.
